Data from the solar inverters is collected daily with software running on a
PC computer at 8 second intervals over an RS-485 communication bus.
Detailed daily data collected since June 16th 2006.

Custom scripts transfer and parse output data from the monitoring software
and create new graphs, charts, and calculated data in close to realtime within
one minute intervals.
